lyrics

He is wearing a mask but it’s no disguise
Hiding away she can still see in his eyes
The words came out but he can’t backtrack
Recalled his messages, but they won’t come back

It’s just a passing phrase, he said, it takes everything that he’s got
Trying to get it out of her head, and tying himself into knots
It’s just a passing phrase

She didn’t intend a peek behind the curtain
I know she’s feeling regret, oh yes I’m certain
She wants to know how to make it up to me
If she can turn back time, then maybe we’ll see

It’s just a passing phrase, she said, something better forgot
While she’d like to move ahead, I didn’t miss that train of thought

We say our words had no meaning
But maybe the truth is quarantining

A slip of the tongue I want you to overlook
Should you believe me, maybe you mistook?
When I say I meant nothing by that
I’m giving Sigmund something to pick at

It’s just a passing phrase, I say, the truth comes out more often than not
But the words they won’t go away, it’s sad for us both that I got caught
It’s just a passing phrase
It’s just a passing phrase
Just a passing phrase
